Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.345 g (0.85 mmol) of the ester derivative obtained in above (1) in dioxane (7 ml) was added 1.7 ml of 1 N lithium hydroxide. The mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure at room temperature and the residue was dissolved in water. The aqueous layer was washed twice with ethyl acetate and neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid (1.7 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and then dried. The solvent was removed and the obtained crystal was washed with ethyl acetate to give 0.28 g of the titled compound. Yield: 84%. m.p.: 165-170° C. (decomposition)
